Carbide tipped cutoff tool

Does anyone have a source to buy a carbide tipped cut off tool 1/4" x 1/4" something like this HSS one.

May as well just use a 5% cobalt. Doesn't matter what you use you'll have to sharpen it.
Carbide is much harder to put an edge on unless you have the correct sharpening tools.

Is that one used for cutting off or trimming the sides of tips?

Cutting off. Any suggestions on a carbide alternative for cutting/parting would be very much appreciated.

Thanks Dave, Any leads on one? I am sick of this style. they will barely scratch phenolic without burning and they dull so fast on any thing else it's a pain in the ass. I can sharpen my carbide tools. So I'd prefer carbide.

If you have a quick change tool post, I use these. Easy to sharpen.
